Title: Improvements in Speed Indicating and Recording Devices.
Inventor: WITHERS JOSEPH SUTTON
IPC: G01P1/12
Filed: 1912-08-14
Granted: 1913-06-12
Abstract: 18,645. Withers, J. S., [Chelsea Clock Co.]. Aug. 14. Roller-and-sheet recording-apparatus. - In speed indicating and recording apparatus of the kind described in Specification 16,052/11, wherein the record-strip travels from a storage spool over a clock-driven feed-roll to a spring- driven take-up roll, the feed-roll is actuated from the clock through gearing designed to prevent the spring of the take-up roll from affecting the clock - work. Means for preventing tampering with the dials of the clock and speed indicator is also described. The feed-roll 22 is rotated from the clock through worm gearing and spur-wheels 30, 34. The take-up roll, provided with an internal spring, is fitted with a ratchet-wheel 60 adapted to be engaged by a detent 61, when the casing 66 is not in place, so as to prevent the spring from running down during adjustment of the recording-mechanism. A projection 64 on the casing engages the detent and releases the take-up roll. A flange 80 on the casing depends over the bezels of the clock and indicator 81, 82, and prevents their removal until the casing is unlocked and raised.

Title: An Improved Automatic Gas Lighting and Extinguishing Device for Street and other Lamps.
IPC: F23Q21/00
Filed: 1913-02-01
Granted: 1914-01-22
Abstract: 2640. Young, F. B., and Parkinson & W. & B. Cowan. Feb. 1. Valves controlled from a distance.-A distance gas-controller of the type in which the valves are actuated bv clock-work under the control of a bell actuated by temporary pressure variations in the supply main, has .one or more rotary valves adapted to control both the main and by-pass supplies. In the form shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the actuating-bell b is guided by pins 4 engaging holes 5 in a partition 6 and a pin 9 engaging a bridge 11 supported by pillars 12. Attached to the bell is a cranked arm 7 and a pin 8, the former being adapted when the bell is raised to lift an arm 23 clear of a pin 20 on a fly-disk and allow the clock-work to operate. The clock-work is stopped after a predetermined interval by a pin 17 on a lever 14 dropping into a slot in a wheel in the clockwork train and moving a lever 18 into the path of the pin 20. When the bell descends, the pin 8 engages the lever 14 to release the catches 17, 18, the clock-work being then held in a position for a re-start by the catch 23. The clock - work is wound by a spindle 27, bevelwheels 26, and spur gearing 26<a>. The valve members are in the form of ported rotary disk valves, and have toothed peripheries adapted to be engaged by pinions driven by the clockwork train. In a modification, a single rotary cylindrical valve is used instead of the two rotary disk valves, and the actuating-mechanism is so arranged that the gas does not come into contact with it. The valves may be modified to control a series of burners. According to the Provisional Specification, a permanent bypass may be used.

Title: Improvements in or relating to the Production of Bicarbonate of Soda.
Inventor: WHITE CARTER
IPC: C01D7/06
Filed: 1913-09-24
Granted: 1914-11-24
Abstract: 21,546. White, C. Sept. 24. Sodium bicarbonate is prepared by adding brine, preferably in less than equivalent quantity, to a solution of magnesium bicarbonate saturated or nearly saturated with magnesium chloride, and passing in carbonic acid. The saturation of the solution with magnesium chloride prevents the precipitated sodium bicarbonate from redissolving or decomposing. The magnesium bicarbonate solution may be obtained by treating magnesium oxide, hydrate, or carbonate, mixed with water, with carbonic acid under pressure, and the magnesium chloride may be added either before or after the treatment with carbonic acid. The solution remaining after separation of the sodium bicarbonate contains magnesium chloride and, after addition of more magnesium oxide, hydrate, or carbonate, and carbonic acid, may be used again, more magnesium chloride being added if desired. When the magnesium chloride accumulates too much, it may be evaporated and treated for the production of magnesia, hydrochloric acid, and chlorine. The sodium bicarbonate may be washed in water containing carbonic acid.
